Dusty Slay: Workin Man Review: Netflix Standup Special Is Underwhelming & Only Funny In Parts
Spread the love Hey there, comedy aficionados! Today, let’s dive into the quirky world of Dusty Slay and his Netflix stand-up special, “Workin’ Man.” Now, before you hit that play button, let me share my thoughts on this one. Strap in, and let’s embark on a rollercoaster of chuckles and misses.
A Peek into Dusty’s World
Dusty Slay kicks off his set with a great joke, repeating his excitement multiple times. It’s a clever move that actually adds to the laughter. However, as we journey further into his routine, we notice a recurring theme – repetition. Dusty doesn’t shy away from using a laugh track, and while some bits manage to hit the mark, it leaves us wondering if it could be more natural. The audience seems to genuinely enjoy the show, but is Dusty resonating with everyone, or are we just missing the punchlines?
Bathroom Habits, Masks, and the Quirks of Dusty Slay
Dusty takes us on a comedic adventure through his “gross” habits, particularly his aversion to handwashing. He delves into the challenges posed by modern public bathrooms, humorously connecting it to the struggles of maintaining secrecy in our personal habits. As he shares his experiences during the pandemic, we find ourselves nodding in agreement with his take on mask-wearing – who hasn’t battled with the urge to touch their face or faced the challenge of burping inside a mask?
But here’s where Dusty’s charm shines – he manages to make the mundane hilarious. From the fogging up of glasses to the unconventional hair-in-food scenario, Dusty’s storytelling keeps us engaged. Is it a sacrifice for good food, or is it his way of embracing karma? The mysteries of Dusty Slay’s hygiene choices unravel in a comedic saga that’s oddly relatable.
The Ted Talk Inspiration and Dusty’s Self-Awareness
Ever wondered what inspires a comedian’s set? Dusty gives us a peek into his creative process, drawing parallels between his routine and a moment from his Ted Talk where he ad-libbed his way through forgetfulness. Despite acknowledging that his jokes might not hit the mark, Dusty chooses the path of being intentionally unfunny over delivering a joke that misses its mark.
A standout moment comes when Dusty realizes the audience’s enthusiasm exceeds the comedic value of his jokes. Graciously, he thanks the crowd for their warmth but expresses discomfort at laughing at his own jokes. A sudden shift in the set takes us into Dusty’s personal commitment – quitting ‘dipping’ for the sake of his child. It’s a poignant moment that showcases Dusty’s self-awareness and desire for growth, both personally and professionally.
Under the Influence
As Dusty nears the end of “Workin’ Man,” he regales us with anecdotes from his under-the-influence escapades. From making flies homeless to navigating the intricacies of choosing between ‘drip and pour-over’ coffee, Dusty explores the absurdities of life with his unique lens. Yet, some jokes miss the mark, leaving us with a set that’s funny in parts but not a home run.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Dusty Slay’s “Workin’ Man” is a mixed bag of comedic brilliance and moments that fall flat. His genuine enthusiasm and heart make us root for him, but the set leaves us yearning for a bit more consistency. Dusty’s self-awareness shines through, making us eager to see how he evolves in future performances. So, grab your popcorn, sit back, and decide for yourself – is “Workin’ Man” a hit or a skip?
